With land in Japan so scarce, where did they put all the debris?
That's the first thought that came to me as well.
me too.
Actually, quite a bit of empty land in Japan. The problem is that nearly everyone is crowded into a few massive urban areas. The earthquake/tsunami zone is rural. I'm not sure what they are doing with the debris up there, need to find out. I was here in Kobe area for the great Kobe earthquake. They hauled most of the debris to sites near the water and burned it. The fires burned for months. The rest I assume was used for landfill. We have lots of artificial islands in the port areas.
